Removing brown spots on face with phototherapy

removing brown spots on face with laser

Located in Edmonton, Dérmica offers treatments that help in removing brown spots on the face with laser and peels.

How does phototherapy remove hyperpigmentation?

One of the treatments we offer is IPL phototherapy. It removes hyperpigmentation by pulsing light energy into the skin that targets excess melanin cells. These pigment cells absorb the light energy. As a result, they overheat and are destroyed in the process.

This destruction forces the body to digest and expel the cells out of the skin. In turn, this process promotes the regeneration of healthy cells.

Can you see results after 1 IPL session?

Not only is it possible to see results after one IPL treatment, it is common. Keep in mind the intensity of the results depends on different factors. The more contrast there is between the tone of the lesion and the tone of the skin, the more visible the result that is seen with each treatment.

A higher contrast means that more energy is absorbed into the lesion and less into the surrounding tissues. Higher intensities can be used with certain skin tones.

Another factor that contributes to quick visible results is the cause of the brown spots. For example, scarring or sun damage can be cleared much faster than pigment-related skin conditions, such as melasma.

Do brown spots come back after IPL phototherapy?

Brown spots on the face can return depending on what caused them in the first place. If it is genetics-related such a freckles or beauty marks, then they may come back. If it is a skin condition, for example melasma, it can reoccur. On the other hand, if it is due to a scar, trauma, or sun damage, chances are it will not come back.
